Stewart Holds Well-Attended Fundraiser Event a Momentum Builder for Campaign NEW BRITAIN, CONN. (August 12th, 2013) - More than 90 people attended an Aug. 8 fundraiser to benefit Erin Stewart's campaign for Mayor of New Britain. The event, held at the historic Stanley Street home of Kenneth Malinowski, attracted several Connecticut state senators as well as current and former city officials.   "The level of support I have been receiving has been overwhelming," Stewart said. "The support is coming from seniors and from college students. It is coming from property owners and from the business community. I am so grateful to everyone for their help and encouragement. We are united, and we all agree that New Britain can do better. New Britain wants - and craves - new leadership. I hear that message from taxpayers every day."   Stewart said she was honored to have former New Britain Democrat Mayor William J. McNamara in attendance. "I have tremendous respect for Mayor McNamara and was so appreciative that he came," Stewart said. "Like me, Mayor McNamara loves and believes in New Britain. He cares deeply about New Britain residents, and he is very concerned about the direction our city is going."   Stewart said the presence of Democrats and Republicans at the fundraiser is evidence of her wide appeal to voters. "To turn New Britain around, we need a leader who will bring together city residents," Stewart said. "As mayor of New Britain, I will make sure everyone has a seat at the table and that everyone's voice is heard. Unity will bring New Britain back. As mayor, we will have a government of the people. The taxpayers are my priority."   During a 10-minute speech to the crowd which was interrupted several times by applause, the 26-year-old Stewart thanked the members of her Republican slate.   "Team Stewart should not be underestimated," Stewart said. "This team can change our city for the better. We are full of energy, we are diverse, and we are united in one goal: to take our city back. We hear the words of encouragement from city taxpayers. We feel our momentum building by the day. Sick of the tax hikes, New Britain? Want better leadership? So do we. We will continue to be out and about in New Britain neighborhoods discussing our vision for New Britain's future." # # # Erin Stewart, 26, a lifelong resident of the City of New Britain, comes from a family with a respected tradition of community service.  She is a product of the New Britain Consolidated School District and a graduate of Central Connecticut State University.  Learn more at www.stewartfornb.com.
